Leaning monuments and fallen headstones have been put back into position. We have 36 lots under perpetual care, and more are being added every year.
In Pine Ridge Cemetery early in the season a brush fire burned over the greater part of it, but as it burned up a lot of dry brush and dead grass, it was really more of a benefit than a damage. There have been 40 lots sold since this Cem- etery was started, but only a few of them are cared for as they should be.
A. F. Whidden has charge of West Cemetery. The tomb which was located at the entrance has been removed to the west side, which gives more room for driving in, and adds much to the appearance of the Cemetery.
Riverside Cemetery, under the supervision of A. S. Wot- ton, has been well taken care of and is in a good condition.
A. H. Simpson has charge of Hart Pond Cemetery. Good work has been done. The paths and avenues have been well taken care of, and the Cemetery is in a good condition.

REPORT OF TREE WARDEN
The work of this department has been carried on as in years past, viz. : the planting of shade trees, spraying for elm leaf beetle and pruning of the large elms.
Our elm trees will apparently be free from the elm leaf beetle in 1916, so that the work of spraying will be very little.
Several trees have been removed on account of lowering grade on highway, cancer-which has no known remedy- and electric wires. Several trees have been braced by iron rods and turn buckles.
If there is a spot near your home where a shade tree would look well, just make it an object to plant one in 1916. If you will help out I can get the tree.
M. A. BEAN,
Tree Warden.

REPORT OF INSPECTOR OF ANIMALS
GENTLEMEN OF BOARD OF SELECTMEN :-
As inspector of animals I have inspected all cattle that have been reported to me or that have otherwise come to my notice as having symptoms of tuberculosis and quarantined eighteen of them, seventeen of which were afterward condemned by the state authorities, they having proved to be tuberculous, the other one was ordered released.
The only outbreak of glanders was fortunately confined to one barn, two horses were affected and killed. The owner was then ordered to tear out and burn the mangers, partitions, ctc., in the stable and afterward thoroughly clean, disinfect and white- wash, all of which he did in a creditable manner.
Several suspected cases of glanders were reported to me to investigate but the above was the only one which proved to be this much dreaded disease.
Last September a bull dog in the north part of the town suddenly developed rabies and ran rampant throughout the neighborhood for several hours before he was killed. Upon in- vestigation I found that he had bitten a little girl three years old and several dogs. Nine dogs and three cattle were immedi- ately quarantined for a period of ninety days, on suspicion of having been bitten by the rabid dog. Several of the quarantined dogs later developed the disease and were shot.
The little girl successfully took the pasteur treatment at the hands of the State Dept. of Health.
Thirty-eight cattle have been identified and released upon arrival in town from points outside this state.
At the present writing a complete inspection is being made of all the domestic animals and stables in the town.
A. C. PERHAM,
Inspector of Animals.

REPORT OF INSPECTOR OF MEATS AND PROVISIONS
GENTLEMEN OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH :-
During the year ending January Ist, 1916, the following meat producing animals have been slaughtered and inspected ac- cording to the rules and regulations of the State Dept. of Health at the seven licensed slaughter houses and at all other places where persons have killed their own animals and a license is not re- quired :
Cows, 286; calves, 588 ; hogs, 1320; sheep, 21 ; and 12 cows, 8 calves ; 3 hogs have been condemned.
About 900 pounds of meat, in small pieces, has been con- demned for various reasons. All reports have been duly and promptly rendered to the State authorities as required.
The number of animals killed during the past year has in- creased 36 per cent. over the year previous, the increase being largely on the hogs.
The following extracts from the laws of Massachusetts will be of interest to many :
Chapter 75 Section 105: "The provisions of the six pre- ceding sections (which state that a license is necessary to do slaughtering, etc.), shall not apply to a person not engaged in such business, who, upon his own premises and not in a slaughter house, slaughters his own neat cattle, sheep or swine but the car- cass of any such animals shall be inspected and unless condemned, shall be stamped, according to the provisions of Sec. 103 as amended, by an inspector at the time of slaughter.
"Section 106. Whoever violates the provisions of Section 105 or whoever slaughters or knowingly authorizes or causes to le slaughtered any neat cattle, sheep or swine upon his own premises without causing the carcass of such animal to be in- spected by an inspector at the time of slaughter, or whoever sells or authorizes or causes to be sold the carcass or any meat or product thereof of any such animal slaughtered upon his own premises, knowing that the same has not been inspected as pro-
91
vided in the preceding section, shall be punished by a fine of not more than $500. or by imprisonment for not more than 60 days or both."
ARNOLD C. PERHAM, Inspector of Meats and Provisions.
FOREST WARDEN'S REPORT
GENTLEMEN OF BOARD OF SELECTMEN :-
During the year 1915 the Forest Warden and Deputy Forest Wardens have extinguished 108 forest and grass fires, the greater portion of which were reported by the State Forest Fire Observer on Robin Hill. Fifty-four of these fires were caused by railroad locomotive sparks and the other fifty-four were caused by sparks from burning buildings, careless smoking, hunters, boys and by unknown causes.
Sixty-two forest fires or an average of two fires every day, occurred in March,-the month of high winds, which is a very unusual occurrence. The records show that only eight forest fires have taken place in the month of March during the past eight years.
The deputy wardens have also rendered assistance at eight auto and chimney fires.
The expense of maintaining this department, including all supplies, extinguishing all forest and grass fires, as well as the expense incurred at the auto and house fires, has been $539.65. The sum of $145.36 has been paid or is due the town by parties responsible for fires thus leaving the net expense $394.29.
There is property of the town in charge of the Forest Warden to the value of $450.00.
About 325 permits have been issued to set fires in the open air between March I and December I. Persons cutting wood, lumber or brush will find it much easier to comply with the law relative to the disposal of slash or brush during such cutting than to be required to dispose of it after cutting is completed. This law is printed in full in last year's town report.
Respectfully submitted,
ARNOLD PERHAM,
Chelmsford, January 1, 1916.
Forest Warden.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF FIRE ENGINEERS, CHELMSFORD CENTRE, MASS.
The Fire Company was reorganized at the first meeting, April, 1915. The Company was made up of 15 active men, to receive $5. a year for practice, and 10 call men, making a Com- pany of 25 men, all being paid for the time they served at fires. The 15 active men included the fire engineers, and they held their practice every two weeks when the weather was favorable, with better results than previous years.
The Company has responded to 22 alarms from March 9 to November 22, 1915 ; 10 bell alarms and 12 telephone calls. There were numerous chimney fires caused by unclean chimneys, which the owners should look after.
The cost of fighting fires from March 9 to November 22, 1915 was $233, of which $17.60 was paid by the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad Company.
The Department is handicapped by having no alarm system, which it needs very much. Also in some cases it is hard work to find horses in town to draw the apparatus to fires. This causes delay and in a great many cases results in the loss of buildings. If the Department could have an automobile combination truck, which could be got up by the Department at a small cost, the out- side surrounding districts would have far better fire protection.
The fire engineers made a general inspection of all public buildings of the town and made recommendations to the select- men and school board of advisable changes for better fire pro- tection.
The following fires have occurred :--
March 9. Chimney fire at W. S. Lupien's.
March 15. Chimney fire at Harry Adams'.
93
March 16. Barn burned at Fred Hazen's.
March 28. House fires at William Hardy's and Hildreth's.
March 30. William Roper house (2 alarm fire).
March 31. J. P. Emerson's house, Fletcher St.
April 3. Chimney fire at Joe Trembly's.
April 3. Chimney fire at Leonard Spaulding's.
April 10. Chimney fire at Mr. Barton's.
April II. Fire at Mrs. A. H. Smith's, High St., caused by sparks from railroad.
June 27. House and barn at A. H. Park's, South Chelmsford.
June 27. Fire at Sadie Redman's, South Chelmsford.
July. New York, New Haven & Hartford, passenger car.
Sept. 9. Chimney fire at Mr. Fisher's.
Sept. II. Chimney fire at Trembly's.
Sept. 12. Auto fire at Littleton St.
Nov. 22. Chimney fire at J. P. Emerson's house, Fletcher St.
This report does not cover the fires which occurred in the North Chelmsford water district.
We wish to thank the residents of the Town for the assistance rendered at fires for the past year.
Respectfully yours,
ARTHUR W. HOUSE, HUBERT H. RICHARDSON, ARNOLD C. PERHAM,
Fire Engineers.

Report of School Committee
TO THE CITIZENS OF CHELMSFORD :-
During July last, Mr. B. E. Martin who had served the town for five years as Superintendent of Schools, resigned his position and the vacancy was filled by the election of Mr. A. W. Small of Newburyport, Mass. Mr. Small was Superintendent of Schools of the Merrimack-Newbury District previous to coming here. He is a Bates man of '94 and has had eight years' experience in school supervision. He comes to us well recommended and has our school systems well in hand.
After a perusal of the Superintendent's report it will be seen that matters connected with, or concerning the policy and manage- ment of our schools has been pretty well covered in his report and it is earnestly requested that all who are interested in our schools will not only read carefully but digest his report.
On December 31, 1915, the citizens of the town were grieved to learn of the death of Mr. C. H. Crowell, a long time resident of the North Village.
He was a man of clean sterling qualities. Upright in all his dealings, and conscientious as regards duty. In his passing the Board have lost a valuable and agreeable associate.
Respectfully submitted,
MRS. A. HEADY PARK, WILLIAM H. HALL.

Report of Superintendent of Schools
To the School Committee of Chelmsford:
I have the pleasure of presenting to you the annual re- port of the Superintendent of Schools.
Included in this are the reports from the principals of the two high schools, the reports of the supervisor of music and drawing, and the reports from the school physician.
Teachers
Two assistants at the North High School resigned at the close of the school year .. Miss Clara E. Macomber of Nash. ua, New Hampshire, and Miss Helen M. Robinson, of Bath, Maine, were elected as their successors.
At the Centre, Miss Dora M. Wentworth was elected teach- er of the seventh grade formerly taught by Miss Ethel M. Park.
There were no other changes in the teaching corps.
On the whole the teaching force is a most excellent one. Almost without exception every teacher is thoroughly inter- ested in her work and in the children. Many of them are giving unstinted measure of their time to the preparation of their work and to helping their pupils outside of the reg- ularly allotted school hours.

Their strong personality and outlook upon the large things of life is a strong factor in the development and up- lift of the children. This personal force is no better illus- trated than in the fact that the cases of corporal punishment are almost a negligible quantity. It would seem that even this small number might be reduced. It would be a thing devoutly to be wished if it could be reported one year hence that not a single case of corporal punishment had been in- flicted during the year.
The discipline now maintained is of a high order.
Elementary Schools
At the opening of the schools in September, the grades at the Princeton Street School occupied two rooms in the high school building. This arrangement gave the high school with eighty-six pupils and four teachers only two reci- tation rooms. A change had to be made. So the seventh grade, which was usually transferred to the Princeton Street School, was held in the Highland School. The seventh and eighth grades at the Princeton Street School were combined in the eighth grade room-this room has recently been divid- ed by a partition and so the two grades are now in separate rooms.
This arrangement gave an extra room which is being used by the high school. If the high school increases in num- bers another room will be needed. This might be obtained by holding the present seventh and eighth grades in the Highland School next year. Further it seems quite possible ยท that if necessary some from the Princeton Street School might be transferred to the Highland. There seems to be no reason why the housing situation at the North cannot be fairly well taken care of for the next two or three years at least.
At the Centre, on account of the addition of a teacher to the high school force which was made necessary by the re- quirements of the state and the growing demands of the high school, one of the grades has been transferred to the

Adams House and the room made vacant used for high school purposes. As it now is, we have the four high school teach- ers and seventy-three pupils housed in three rooms. More room is needed both for the grades and the high school if we are to get reasonable results. The State Police allow us to use the Adams House only temporarily.
